We've played several games, and ended up with a few situations that weren't covered in the rules:
1. Players A and B each have 1 bomb left; C and D each have 2 left. Player A plays a bomb (her last card), and player B plays a Hold to avoid it (his last card). The question is resolution of bombs and how many are taken by each player. Here's how I interpreted the timing:
Player A's bomb flips 1 bomb for both C and D
Player B's play of the Hold prevents the bomb's damage
Player B's out of cards, dealing 1 bomb to everyone else
Player A's out of cards, dealing 1 bomb to everyone else
Everyone is eliminated
Was this correct? Or should we have ignored B's "out of cards" damage because he was exploded? Another player assumed that it should go like this:
Player A's bomb flips 1 bomb for both C and D
Player B's play of the Hold prevents the bomb's damage
Player A's out of cards, dealing 1 bomb to everyone else
Player A wins the hand and player B is out of the game
My CCG experience tells me that effects don't just disappear, and that LIFO (last in, first out) is a logical method of resolving card effects. Thus, I feel like the first list of effect resolutions should be the correct one, especially given that it accounts for all of the effects generated whereas the second one ignores the fact that there was a second player who hit 0 cards in hand.
2. If a player's last card is the hand swap, it seems there are two possible interpretations of what happens:
a. The player who drops the swap trades hands with someone, essentially giving them a win for the round, or
b. The player who drops the swap wins because they were the player to go out.
I assumed it was the former, because after you resolve the card, the swap target is the person with no cards in their hand and thus that player has no cards left in their hand. I can see the logic to the other point of view as well, however, though it seems unnecessarily nit-picky and semantic for such a casual game; technically, the person playing the swap card "played [his] last card", not the person who received the empty hand.

The second list of resolutions is almost the correct one. Player b saves their self from the bomb but player A was out first. Which means that player B flips over a ticking time bomb and players C and D flip over 2 making player A the winner! Players B,C and D are eliminated.
Can get more in to detail if needed.
